We use web pages every day, but is it difficult to create one? This article will teach you how to create a simple HTML website using Notepad.

Steps

Method 1 of 1: Create your own website

1. 

   Open Notepad. Notepad comes pre-installed on every Windows computer, and you can find it in the Start menu. After opening Notepad, click "File", select "Save As" in the drop-down menu. Then, select "All Files" in the file type menu and save the file as HTML. Usually, the file "index.html" is the main page, containing all the links to access everything on the website.

    What makes the website really interesting is the images. Even if the text is formatted, no one wants to see a page as all text. Use a card to insert pictures. But like the body tag, this tag needs additional information. An img tag would look like this: The src data (source: source) is the name of the image. Behind the width and height are the width and height in pixels of the image.

    Almost done! If you want your visitors to be able to view multiple pages, use the tag: Other pages The content in the tag is what the user will click to go to the next page, and the href section is the link to that page. With this tag, you can easily show users around your website.

Advice

• You can find many cards online. There are many useful websites to help people learn how to create a website (W3Schools is one of them).
• Remember to use closures.
• Always make sure to order the card on the first line, before the tag Let the browser know that your site is the HTML5 standard.
• You can change the font with tags before and then . N stands for fonts, such as "Verdana".
• If you want to use special characters on a web page, type & lt (<), & gt (>), & amp (ampersand), and so on, the end of the code MUST HAVE a semicolon ";".
• In HTML tutorials, folder and web file names are always placed in lowercase letters, without any accents. Although Windows allows space usage, many web hosting providers do not, so you'll save time and hassle with the right file and folder names in the first place.
